Blue Force Gear Receives Patent for the RED Swivel
Blue Force Gear has received a patent for their RED swivel!
From Blue Force Gear:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—October 16, 2013—The United States Patent and Trademark Office issues Patent No. 8,516,732 to Blue Force Gear® for their RED™ swivel. The Rapid Emergency Detachment™ (RED) swivel offers a replacement option for standard push button sling swivels through the unique knob shaped pull tab design.
When seconds count, a pull-knob emergency release is more reliable to discharge than a tiny, hard to find push button. For the times when you need your weapon and other combat equipment off seconds ago, you’ll be glad to have this on your gear.
“We realized that under stress the ‘Quick Detach’ push button simply wasn’t,” said Ashley Burnsed, Blue Force Gear’s CEO. “Sometimes you need to get out of your gear rapidly and we found that a traditional push button style QD didn’t allow an emergency release every time. The RED swivel does.”
The patented RED swivel releases with a 7lb pull straight out from the socket. The chance for accidental release is minimized by the knob shape and the fact that a pull more than 10-15 degrees off axis will not release the connection. If you work with a rifle over or near water, or in other conditions where sling entrapment is a substantial risk, the RED swivel can be a lifesaver.
The RED swivel can also be paired with the Burnsed Socket™ or push button Universal Wire Loop™ – both from Blue Force Gear – to make the fastest 2 to 1 point sling on the market.

New Magazine Shingles from Fight and Flight Tactical
Fight and Flight Tactical just introduced a versatile new version of their six magazine shingle. It is designed to hold six AK-47 30 round magazines or both the 30 round AUG magazines. Longer flaps can be requested for use with the 42 round AUG magazines.
The pouches can be configured to be used with flap retention or the flaps can be removed and replaced with shock cord retainers. The opening rim of the pouches has been thoughtfully folded outward to prevent snagging on AK-47 magazine locking tabs.

SORD USA Field Pant – New Sizing and Kryptek
The SORD USA Field Pant has been a hot ticket item at the Predator Intelligence stores due to their features and pricing. Now PredatorBDU has a new version of the pants that has more precise sizing (waist and inseam measurements) and they are available in the Kryptek family of camo patterns.

Spec Ops Brand – Leather Combat Master Knife Sheath
The Combat Master Knife Sheath from Spec Ops Brand is a classic piece of a gear. It is a functional knife sheath that can be mounted a variety of ways. I own several of them simply because most knives come with terrible sheaths and many custom knives come with no sheath at all.
Spec Ops Brand is trying to gauge interest in a leather version of the sheath and I have to admit, they look pretty darn cool. Share your opinion at SpecOpsBrand.com.
